Hello everyone, we hope you had, or are having, a great summer. This year AUEHC will be opening up the fall semester with CyberFire Puzzles! This event is designed such that all skill-levels will find something engaging and will learn, so we highly encourage that you consider attending.

What is CyberFire Puzzles?

Created by the U.S. Department of Energy and Los Alamos National Laboratory, Cyber Fire Puzzles is a friendly competition that features a plethora of interesting mathematical and computer-science-based problems. You can expect to see sequence problems (think 1,5,9,d,...), number base conversion, network forensics, reverse engineering, and more. The problems in each category start at a beginner level but increase in difficulty as you learn from each problem.

This event gives experience to all levels and is a great addition to a growing resume! For official information on the event, look here.

Who Can Participate?

The event is open for registration to all those who are interested. While the event can be time consuming, it is completely up to you how long and how much you want to participate. We encourage all those who want to experience a challenging but informative cyber weekend to attend.

Participation will come in the form of teams that can be made up of varying skill-levels. Being part of a team is optional, but we think you'll enjoy the event more and learn more if you join one. If you cannot find a team, club officers will be more than happy to help you find one.
